I've always been a big handgun person, and never really gave much credit to the power of a .38 Special. Recently, I bought my wife a vintage Colt Detective Special, and fell in love with it. When I watched a video of ballistics testing on the JHP personal

A Great 38 Snubbie Revolver. And the Metal Frame is what attracted me to it. I own a Taurus Ultra-Lite,and the recoil is punishing,and use that one only for Snake shot now, this one is 21 ounces unloaded,and it absorbs most of the recoil,and is very accur

When you are on a combat operation in the jungle or swamp, you will want to have a parkerized finish like that on the Taurus 85 B2FS. The flat black color does not reflect any light so your defensive combat revolver will remain invisible during night oper
